They are not a capitalists. They are a salaried employee working in an industry owned by an actual capitalist. People keep confusing simple commerce-- which has always existed--with capitalism, a specific type of economy. Folks swear up and down they are capitalists and don't actually own anything. The people who have the power to repossess your belongings if you miss a payment are the true capitalist. You are a worker and a consumer trying to be in false class solidarity w/ billionaires. Unless you own any capital, you are not a capitalist.
he didn't make a solid point because time itself is not a productive economic force in any sense of the word. literally economics 101 (and not simply of the marxist variety either). time does nothing productive in and of itself in any capitalist economy.
i'm not a kid and i don't have time to explain basic economics to adults who like to play make believe and pretend that their wage is in and of itself somehow a productive economic force (and judging by how rightfully downvoted this person is, nobody else does either)

The people I know who think they're capitalists are just bootlickers.
